It turned out to be incredibly useful for debugging and testing — so I decided to open-source my own version.</p> <p>It’s probably not something you'd want to run in production — but for development and internal use, it can be a great tool.</p> <p>If that sounds interesting, I’d love to hear your feedback! <a href="https://github.com/BOOMeranGG/spring-groovy-web-console" rel="noopener noreferrer">Github</a></p> spring java kotlin springboot
